Doctors remove long penis instead of small one

Initially, the doctors planned to remove the small penis but they decided to remove the long one due to other risks. If the doctors removed the small one, the boy would have to face problems during the time of urination. Owing to the removal of a small penis, the boy wasn’t able to urinate from the long one.

The diphallia mainly comes into effect at the time of the development of genitals in the ovary. Doctors said a man with two penises can enjoy sex and birth children.
